STM publisher Elsevier has announced the launch of a new open access journal Biomolecular Detection and Quantification (BDQ).
Published quarterly online and open access, BDQ is dedicated to championing excellence in molecular biology-based study design, measurement, data analyses and reporting. The journal includes qualitative and quantitative studies in clinical and life sciences that adhere to best-practice guidelines, publishing original research papers, review articles, short communications, commentaries, points of view, and perspective articles.
Founding editors of the journal are the molecular methodology pioneers, Professor Carl Wittwer, University of Utah, Michael Pfaffl, Technical University Munich and Ron Cook, Bio Research Tech UK. They will be joined by Editor-in-Chief Stephen Bustin, Managing Editors Jim Huggett and Justin O'Grady, and an Editorial Board of experienced scientists from around the world.
BDQ will cover both clinical subjects such as epigenetics, gene expression, and diagnostics and non-clinical subjects, including industrial microbiology and environmental and food science.
First published papers are now available online on ScienceDirect: www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/22147535
